UncleEarl 844 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 13 hours ago, BlackJesus said: True. But in that case, why let the teams with the worst record draft first? Why should the Jags get Sunshine and not the Bucs, if it's all about money? Or maybe Dallas, the most valuable team financially? The NFL has some good policies that are not built solely on money, but parity and equity between teams, because they realize that the dynasty of today, could be the basement dweller tomorrow - and a rising tide lifts all boats (theoretically). Not when it comes to TV revenue. The Giants will be on because it's NYC and they have a huge fan base. The TV networks have a say here too. You think NBC or ABC/ESPN would want Cincinnati/Jacksonville? Hell, no. Bengals are lucky (not really) to even get a Thursday night game. The team is bad and the market is one of the smallest in the NFL. Putting a team on TV in prime time doesn't help the Bengals a bit. Actually, it makes it tougher due to compressed practice weeks. You could say the NFL is doing the Bengals a favor by not making it harder on a poor performing team. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tibor75 115 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 The only thing worse than Tibor is the Bengals winning percentage under Mike Brown Ba dum tss 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know there is a fix for this? If the team actually wins for a change. If your team is going to stink, might as well find some humor in it. The fact that John Ross' first touch as a Bengal was a lost fumble on a reverse just epitomizes his pathetic Bengal career and gives it a touch of humor. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When the guys that post the most gang up on someone it can get pretty uncomfortable. Tibs has never said anything personal to anyone that I can recall. He just makes fun of the Bengals. Just hit the ignore button if he bothers you that much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If anybody has noticed, I've actually done a better job in the last several months with toning down the negativity. Then again, it's the off-season which is usually the most optimistic time for Bengal fans as they have the same record as anybody else. It also helped that Andy Dullard is no longer with the team. The fact that such a big game loser was praised by the fans in Cincinnati is just insane. Last year people actually thought NE would make a play for him and go to the playoffs. Comical.
